No tutorial, but this is how I write my journal:
(custom-set-variables
'(org-remember-templates
(quote (("Journal" 106 "* %^{Eintrag}%?%i%&" "~/Daten/Journal.org"
return_formated_date nil)
With this helper function:
;;;
;;; time and date, date in international format: -MM-DD
;;;
(defun return_formated_date ()
(let ((time (decode-time)))
(format "%d-%02d-%02d" (nth 5 time) (nth 4 time) (nth 3 time
My journal looks like this:
...
* 2009-11-13
*** abc
*** def
...
Cheers,
Martin

Re: [Orgmode] Org-mode for diary writing
I use journal.el, it simply creates a new file in a specified directory with
the current date timestamp. I have modified it to create files with the .org
extension. I don't know why, but I prefer daily entries to be in separate
files.

I am not aware of any tutorials. However, at the moment I use remember
with the following template:
("Journal" ?j "* %^U :journal:\n\n** %^{Prompt} %i%&\n %!"
"~/Documents/org/journal/journal_2009.org")
This stores entries as a headline under the date so an entry will look like:
* [2009-11-15 Sun]
:journal:
** Ironbridge Gorge.
Your text goes here.
This doesn't attempt to avoid duplicate date entries from calling the
template twice. If I have already created an entry for that day I simply
open my journal file and append stuff under that heading.
At the end of each month I create a month heading and move each day
under it, like:
* 2009-08 August
** [2009-08-31 Mon]
Fetched More Logs from the Wood.
I keep each year in a separate file. I could make this much more
automated, but it's just as easy to do it manually.
You might also want to see my recent message "[Orgmode] org-datetree
Some Suggestions". Carsten has recently introduced the datetree
directive in remember templates, which should be very useful for
automated diary entries.

[Orgmode] Org-mode for diary writing
Hi, I found people are using org-mode for diary writing in recent mlist archive, but wasn't able to find such tutorials. Anyone can enlighten me with such tutorial, which is for org-mode newbies and focusing on how to make most use of applicable org-mode features, and maybe a bonus "best-practice diary writing with org-mode"?
